Abstract The adult Eastern newt, Notophthalmus viridescens, has long served as a model for
appendage as well as heart muscle regeneration studies. Newt tissues include all major cell …

Newts provide a unique model animal for regenerative studies. An experimental model
system for molecular genetics in newts is needed in order to clarify the mechanisms of …

Development of methods to reawaken the semi‐dormant regenerative potential that lies
within adult human tissues would hold promise for the restoration of diseased or damaged …

Background Regeneration of complex patterned structures is well described among,
although limited to a small sampling of, amphibians. This limitation impedes our …

Although the North American, adult, red‐spotted newt has been an excellent model in the
study of appendage regeneration at the tissue and cell levels, experiments involving …

Regeneration, or the de novo formation of new organs, is observed in many different classes
of vertebrates (reviewed in Alibardi, 2010). In teleost fishes, regeneration of heart muscle as …

Urodele newts have the remarkable capability of organ regeneration, and have been used
as a unique experimental model for more than a century. However, the mechanisms …

The extent to which adult newts retain regenerative capability remains one of the greatest
unanswered questions in the regeneration field. Here we report a long-term lens …

Salamanders possess remarkable regenerative capacities for organ regeneration among
tetrapod vertebrates. Previous research has primarily focused on studying the regeneration …

Although regeneration of tissues occurs in all adult tetrapods, the ability to regenerate
complex structures such as limbs is limited to urodeles (newts and salamanders). Given that …
